The Broncos defense finished with six sacks, two fumbles, two recovered fumbles, and three interceptions with two of them returned for touchdowns.

The defense allowed the NFL’s only two 200-yard rushers per game this season by New Jets Isaiah Crowell and Los Angeles Rams Todd Gurley. However, in this game, the Broncos limited the Cardinals to only 69 rushing yards.

In the post-game press conference, coach Vance Joseph said of the defense, “We got back to doing what we do best by playing aggression five [defenders against the opposing offensive line] and [the secondary] playing man free on first and second down.”
